you are being unfair or misleaded. this compilation has already been over the net for some years now, and more important than this, some of the pictures are not from Romania. well, the ones who were really made in Romania do show a funny or creepy face of the country, but that's not all of it.

wow really

I don't really agree with the title and explanation of this post. Some of the things you see here did not come to an end after the acceptance of Romania in the UE, but it's not fair to any country to show only the ugly, creepy and bad things. Because of this kind of "advertising" a lot of places are avoided and disregarded for no good reason. Every place has his beauty and good people. So just an idea, try to make a post named "the bad and the good", not just for this case of course, for the less understanding people ( i think we all are at some point).

good day to you all ...

I don’t believe this Romania

being romanian myself i can assure you this is not all there is to my country.I actually take great offense with this post of yours.It's the same thing as presenting the USA by showing pictures exclusively to the area of Bronx.
It would be wise of you to search for pictures from towns like Sibiu (the European Capital of Culture together with Luxembourg) Sighisoara, Constanta or Timisoara. Also look for pictures of the amazing landscapes from the Carpathian Mountains, and the seaside or The Danube.

I really enjoy this website, don't spoil it by posting undocumented and unfair information.
Thank you very much.

this is a compilation of gipsy ppl in the country, and not all of the pics are from here

search for mode pictures of the country as ana said...

this post can be a big probrem, i think.

i don' wanna be kinda racist or something like that.
ofcourse you nether, don' you?

Hhhhhmmmmm....you don't know 1% about ROMANIA. Maybe it's time to learn something!

Romania ar trebui vazuta astfel : prima tara care a avut in posesie bomba atomica , o tara cu o puternica istorie , o tara cu puternica infuenta sportiva si culturala , o tara ce rivalizeaza peisajele norvegine , o tara plina de femei frumoase , o tara ce stie sa rada si sa se distreze , o tara ce stie sa lupte , o limba ce este mai grea decat chineza ... o natiune cu forta de munca si mai ales cu mandrie de fier . daca doriti sa faceti publicitate Romaniei va invit sa o vizitati , daca doriti va cazez la mine va doresc o zi exact ca si a romanilor : splendida !!!

I am from Romania :). We are a proud country, with proud people. It's like on a web site we presented some pictures with USA Soldiers in Iraq malltreating the kidds, women and animals. Some do that, some not! It's like we post a compilation of pictures on the net with Bronx, only with black people "in the hood" :), only with 12 year old kids murdering half a school because they wore beated in childhood, and bad examples may be written.

Ok, ur kind of right... I mean we have this kind of people, like u have that kind of people, BUT we have beautiful women, great sports'men / women, great landscapes: Danub, Black Sea, Carpathian Mountains, St. Anne Lake (the only vulcanic lake in Europe ;) ), Transilvania, Bucovnia, Maramures, The Happy Cemetery :), great peasons with cultural value, and the GOOD may be written untill tomorow ;).

texas

i used to like to your website untill i saw this post.

I was watched very carefully thise pictures,and i can say that only 3-4 pic is from romania. I dont know who want to discredit in thise way Romania . Only 1 word i have for him/her............SHAME ON U.

Hah, every country may be presented like that, if you focus on the poor and pathologic areas only... Gypsy culture of living is a problem that Romania struggles to deal with for decades, and will struggle for many years to come...
I am Polish, I saw places like that in Poland, currently I'm residing in Ireland and you can find similar areas here if you really would look for them [travelers, etc.]... Don't disgrace Romania by posts like that... I met Romanians, as I met Gypsies and I know, that they are different kind of people.

I'm not from Romania but I can assure that those pictures does not reflect at all what this country is. Romania is a very beautiful country with very, very, nice people that I recommend for everybody to visit.

I ask the admins on this web to change the title and the description of this post. It's ok to laugh because pictures can be funny, but it's not ok to point at a whole country.

Greetings from Barcelona.

How about you post this next? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SVTsqdhedM

bollocks

It seems that only a small portion of these photos was taken in Romania- on the contrary, let's take a look at the one showing an empty shop-this pic was taken in Poland during the communist era (at least 30 years ago), not in comtemporary Romania. Somebody has probably tried to provoke a discussion calling the collection in that way. BTW-I'm not Romanian, but I understand them-their country is stereotypically shown as a nation of scruffy dossers who piss in the street, while these are the Gypsies who do not conform to social norms. And their (the posters' above) reaction has nothing to do with the lack of the sense of humour. The town I live in is also nice and picturesque, but there is a place with Gypsies' sheds in its outskirts. Even though I'm not against them, if somebody kept on showing the pics of their area as the only ones from my town, no one would ever come here on holiday.

Total crap, just to have people's attention on this site. If those who put this pics here are romanians..they are simply idiots...

I'm sorry to tell you but I don't know if 10% of these images ARE from Romania...
Why don't you add this too ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhFwYPbwEYc&feature=fvw

if you visit bucovina you will change your mind.....disco partizani............

I agree that we need to make sure that the information is accurate before posting, but people need to stop being so sensitive! I don't see anyone crying when there's a funny post about American hillbillies. Get over it, don't think that your culture is immune to stereotyping!

'; show tables;'

well, dont believe that this pictures where taken just before Romania got into EU... every country in Europe has poor regions...

Try this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tH9Yuc98z_k

wtf is this Romania no way

What the.... very weird their culture

Fucking backwards

First, google "Romania". Then learn something about it. Shame on you.

I don't think that is Romania...Have a lot gipsy people lol

Some of them are from Romania some I dk , but really .. you should putt some newer ones , just in case .. as a Romanian I don't want my country to be seen like a wasteland , simply because it's not .

Take care :)

Not all pictures from Romania.
Watch the movie "a world without Romania!".
PROUD TO BE ROMANIAN!!!

to make a image about this pics....romanian people its white. who its black(brown) its gipsy. Only 5-6 pics are from romania.

I think this gallery was posted by a romanian with hungarian nationality (like those in picture no 4). Only they can be such retards when it comes about our country, Romania. Shame on you, whoever you are!

50% of the pics are not from Romania and the other are taken after the revolution. Romania is not like that anymore. You would be surprised to se Romania now. Make a trip in Sibiu (European Cultural Capital in 2007), Bucuresti, Constanta. Brasov, Cluj, Timisoara or search the web for this towns to see a more acurate face.

And for romanians: TAKE IT EASY!!!!!!!

You missed the famous Transilvania's Dracula, how could you?! That is a deep disappointment

Shame for this post, shame...i enjoy this website..but u sucks on this post! wtf people, if I go in UK and I do some foto to some junkie and some Huligans u will tell: no fucking way..this is not UK, if I go USA and i do some photo to some People..u got to say: this is not USA, so u sucks bad!!!! SHAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WE must love ROMANIA!!!

Dude, this is mostly Gipsies 15-25 years ago! lol.
I'm Romanian, but i don't come from Borat land. Americas are waaaay weirder,a lot less knowledgeable and more closed minded on average than individuals in developing countries. lol
Romania's pretty behind economy-wise, but not even near as crooked as the US! hahahah

Really funny to read the comments from romainians.
You probably had a big laugh when the site made a similar post about other countrys.
I´m from estonia and I believe, that the pictures could be about Romania. They also could be about Estonia, Russia and all other countrys, that were under the influence of Russia.

Kayleigh,

I couldnt agree more, these pictures (apart from the ones with the now famous Dacia autos) could come from any of the above mentioned countrys. Romanians do need to lighten up a bit and normally they are very fun to be arround(i should know). The problem here is that for romanians this subject is a very delicate one and romanian image has had alot to suffer because of the antisocial behaviour of the travelling nomads called gypsies. For someone that trully knows this country this thread is a good laugh and indeed funny because they know that Romania is not trully like this (but this does happen sometmes :)). The problem is when people that know nothing of this country get a wrong ideea about it through these pictures, instead of just finding the pics funny. Anyway i get these pics 10 times a day and everytime they are suposed to come from some other ex communist country so.. not really facts. I am romanian, i got a great laugh out of some of them because they are funny, and i suggest to the people that take a look to just enjoy the funny situations and not get a false ideea about a country untill he has walked a few kilometers through it. And i think it is valid for all countrys. I am new here on the site but i think ill stick arround a bitcause this seems interesting :).

I fell sorry for all of you who doesn't know that in these photos aren't romanian people.They are gipsy people and they are so different from us.I live in Romania and I'm very proud of my country.We may have our problems but this post is bull shit.You should have done research before putting these photos on your website .Blame on you!Do you know that you can be brought to trial by the romanian government??

I live in Romania (in Sibiu actually) and I must say I'm really offended. Come on..what pictures are that?..You made us look like some poor, neanderthal people. Not all of the pictures were taken in Romania. Those places are places at contryside, cases of extreme poverty. Don't tell me that in your country u can't find places like that. You shouldn't have posted only the bad things in Romania because someone who doesn't know my country will think that Romania is just a poor country, full of poor people and dirty gipsies... tkanks a lot...
